<p>First, I appreciate your high-quality lectures.</p>
<p>I&#39;m confused whether the highest/largest and the lowest/least are interchangeable.</p>
<p>For example, <br />
&quot;the highest or largest number/proportion/percentage of noun&quot; is correct, but<br />
&quot;the highest number of noun sounds&quot; more natural to me. </p>
<p>I find it difficult to select the lowest or least in front of words like number, amount, percentage, proportion and rate.</p>
<p>Please help me to understand this.</p>Freddie commented on 'IELTS Writing Task 1: pie chart without numbers'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a0120a5bb05d8970c01bb09652f96970d2016-12-31T03:45:31Z2016-12-31T03:45:31ZFreddieThis is the first time I follow Simon's blog.

<p>I do get confused about how to write this. <br />
&quot;There are 50% and 23% of the UK residents who have ONE AND TWO CARS respectively&quot;.</p>
<p>In terms of formal writing, should I put &#39;S&#39; on the word &#39;cars&#39; in the brackets like &#39;one and two car(s)&#39; or simply say &#39;one car and two cars&#39;? </p>

<p>All writing papers are scanned, and your Task 1 and 2 are sent to different examiners around the world. All personal details, such as your name, are removed from the papers, so examiners have no idea where you are from, so there is no chance that you are given a lower score depending on where you come from.</p>
<p>Even most natives do not achieve a 9 in IELTS writing - this is very normal.</p>sahar commented on 'IELTS Writing Task 1: pie chart without numbers'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a0120a5bb05d8970c01bb0962a161970d2016-12-22T10:21:39Z2016-12-22T11:51:25ZsaharHello Simon, thanks a lot for your lessons and tips about Ielts exam.

thanks a lot for your lessons and tips about Ielts exam. I frequently use your website as a valuable source for studying English.<br />
I just have a question. Recently all centers that take ielts exam in Iran claim that all the writing papers from all over the world are sending to Idp to give mark. Is it true? however they insist, I guess it just an excuse to given lower mark to student in Iran.<br />
for exp, i know many people who even are English teachers that could get 9 and 8 in other skills but they give 7 or below in the writing!<br />
i&#39;ll appreciate if you tell me about this trend.<br />
